HELP FAST

So I wanted to get my clutch done today, but after taking off my catback and my driveshaft, I've already found a snag. The nuts on the bolts that connect the headers to the mid-pipe are completely stuck on. Try as I might, they will not come loose. I also have no idea how to get to the top ones. Is it easier to come from above, or is this the only way to do it?

Thanks guys.

After a long while, my dad told me we had an impact wrench. Then a long while after that he told me that he failed to mention that we have a universal joint... Parents... Thanks Scothew.

If your dad is like me...
He waited to tell you because he was hoping you would buy your own tools.

Lol. He doesn't use his tools. Someone might as well.
